What if it's a man writing male/male? Or even a homosexual woman? Because that does happen a lot in this fandom, you know.

Well, the premise that someone might treat Male/Male relationships with a fetishistic attitude has two prerequisites.

1. That person is attracted to males.
2. That person is not male.

If you don’t qualify for both then you don’t qualify.

And while I can neither prove it, nor have any interest in doing so, I would suspect that without the fetish angle Male/Male relationships in writing would be treated with significantly more respect. At least being dragged out of this horrible gutter they’re languishing in at the moment.

Though quiet on the outside, you are often the hidden hero; someone who rushes in when needed and then after the emergency is over fades back into the woodwork. Because of this sense of duty and honor, you can also on occasion be rigid in your viewpoint and unyielding in the face of other ways of thinking. Usually cynical and rarely trusting of others, you maintain a small set of intimate friends. These bonds are stronger than most. You are always grounded in the present moment. Your close bonds can also lead to clique-ishness and a tendency to gossip about those who are deemed less worthy. You are an integrative thinker, collecting data from a wide range of sources and applying it to your worldview. You can become overly task-oriented. In stressful situations you often withdraw from the world to seek peace in contemplation. You often seem cold and withdrawn. Often you will withdraw rather than verbalize your discontent.

This test physically hurt to take owowow prickles in my brain

But yeah for the most part this is accurate minus the hero part I’m pretty sure I’m no hero I just run in to try to help and flail and fail most of the time

And for the withdrawn when stressed thing no the first thing I do is go to others

But yeah interesting test and interesting results

You have a poetic sensibility and an ability to see beyond the day to day. You often seem to be living in a higher realm, or to be not-of-this-earth. Occasionally you imagine interior lives for friends and associates that are near-complete fabrications based on your fears or hopes for the future. You are often not aware of your own feelings. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and because of this are often disappointed. Despite what can sometimes be a destructive inward-turning anger, you are very gentle. You are sometimes a bit out of touch with the ebb and flow of modern life. If your behavior is out of synch with your moral values, a severe psychic disturbance can result. Because connectivity is so important to you, you can become quiet and sulky if you feel that others around do not understand your point of view.

Huh. interesting.

Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.

I dunno that it’s completely accurate xD the not being in friendships due to need is totally true- but I’m not sure I’m THAT mathematical and black and white. Mostly reblogging for the test tho O_o it actually kinda freaks me out. Near the end I started to think I was hearing sound from it…? I know I wasn’t, but the images were making me hear things? I don’t even xD;; kinda freaky

Often concerned with right and wrong, and punctilious in expressing it, you are best represented by the Customs Agent or the IRS inspector. Initially seen by others as cold or uncaring, you are difficult for those more spontaneous members of society to understand. You are extremely stable, responsible and dependable. You manifest an amazing ability to concentrate on the issue at hand, and are difficult to distract from issues that are important. You manifest a great sense of loyalty to your employers and your government. You tend to show love through a display of committed works, believing that actions speak louder than words. You are also resistant to change and tend to believe that the old ways are best. If a behavior has been successful in the past, why would anyone want to change? You work best in a controlled environment.

wwwwwwooooOOOOOWWWWWWW :U

I hate math 

Handy in the real world manipulation of objects and events, you are easily enthused by practical projects. You often ignore or conveniently forget rules and boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere and though you are kind and gentle, you will often be hard to pin down to a monogamous lifestyle. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you can be seen as phlegmatic or impassive. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted or humorous remark. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in sports that require dexterity, such as motorcycling or hang gliding. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or unproductive discussion. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a personal attack.

god, this test kind of creeps me out.

I can’t see myself motorcycling or hang gliding, though…

“You are in a perpetual quest to find the new, the exciting. Emotionally volatile, you are known for sudden changes of opinion, of appreciation, and behavior. Following rules and established methods is difficult for you and the difficulties of higher education are usually quite daunting. Knowledge is best gained through an intimate association with the matter at hand. Usually driven by attitudes and desires of the group, you are talented in an established field of endeavor. Emotions come and go without a strong understanding of their causes. They are unexpected guests in an otherwise placid landscape. You live by your own codes of conduct, which can be noble or terrible depending on the individual. Authority is meaningless to you. You hate to be predictable, at all costs. Rarely verbally effusive, you can at times feel as if your feelings are too deep for words. You are very observant, but rarely express these observations to others.”

Well, this is freakily accurate.

I think the case has been made for Buffy being an indecent and immortal little girl.

It’s a good thing I’m not interested in statutory rape otherwise I’d be in an awful lot of trouble.

So, Vex, enlighten your readerbase. D'you have any ships you don't ship in 100% seriousness and the expectation that they will be canon? Any crack pairings, in other words? Any ships you ship for, y'know, funsies?

I’ve gone over this a few times before, but I suppose I can do it again. I’ll only be listing the Kids and Trolls however since I don’t really ship the other characters.

John/(Any Girl except Terezi)
Dave/(Any Girl except Rose/Vriska)
Karkat/(Any Girl except Rose/Vriska)
(Any Girl)/(Any Other Girl)

I don’t ship John with Terezi ever since she put the stabs on Vriska. It just seems… kind of sickening.

And I don’t ship Rose or Vriska with Dave/Karkat for similar reasons.

For Vriska there is simply so much narrative impetus and development for her relationship with John that I honestly can’t even conceive of any realistic circumstances that would break her away from him. At least none that wouldn’t bring with it a narrative necessity for them to reconcile.

As for Rose, I simply don’t see any chemistry between her and Dave or Karkat, or at least none that I would be interested in.

Vriska’s reason also works for Rose and vica versa, but to a lesser extent.

However Lesbians are always in season.

Yes. I feel really bad for you I'm not even going to lie. A lot of the stuff you say holds true. And it just seems like you're attacking JUST the JohnKat fandom but honestly this goes for a lot of stuff. People just take everything as attacks now-a-days. And then again, the internet is a lot of the time a kid's first shot at writing a story out of class. A teacher will always give grades for effort but it's not until you're in a reading class do you learn the aspects of a real story.

I do try to make my advice and criticisms as general as possible. It just so happens that Slash fiction tends to be the most egregious offenders for reasons that should be self-evident. (It’s written with the sole intention of making people’s naughty parts happy.)

But yes, aside from the few times that I have specifically evaluated John, Karkat or the possibility of the two of them together I’ve been trying to speak as broadly as possible, either about writing in general, pairings/romance in general or slash in general.

I’ve always hated the “A for effort”, effort should influence the tone of a person’s criticism, not the content. The content of critique should be devoted to merit. It’s really just part of a greater and infinitely annoying trend of celebrating what does not deserve celebration and a sense of entitlement toward self-esteem and success.
